This was our third trip to Diamond Beach and our 1st stay in this condo. The beach view was grand and Diamond Beach was exceptional as always, but this Condo was pristine, so clean, well stocked with everything you needed from the kitchen, bath and bedroom to all your beach essentials. Contact with the host was the fastest and best I have ever experienced. Will be back and would book with Johnathan again.

The condo was absolutely gorgeous! The balcony has a spectacular view of the beach/water and the lazy river. The amities are to die for! We loved the be pools and the lazy river. It is a very short walk to the beach. Everything was so nice! Jonathan and Janice, the hosts, were fantastic! They responded immediately with answers to a few questions we had. They checked on us to make sure we were having a great time. We will definitely be back!

Complex is wonderful! Jonathan & Janice are exceptional hosts & even had a sweet note with a welcome basket upon our arrival. We had everything we needed. Plenty of towels in the bathroom & everything in the kitchen. My 89 year old mother absolutely loved the lazy river & spent most of her time there. The balcony is small but was sufficient for the 3 of us & the beach wagon was awesome! If we adventure back to Galveston or Houston area again we definitely want to stay here!

About the host

Hosted by Jonathan Roach

Host profile image
The owners are local islanders. This unit has been a personal home (for a time), beach vacation home, and has been rented out to friends and family (with the occasional paying guests). If you want to know a good local place to eat, wining-&-dining are the owners' expertise so feel free to ask for recommendations.

Why they chose this property

The condo was renovated and updated in early 2026 for a fresher 'beach vibe feel'. The upscale Diamond Beach amenities and location are superb for a beach vacation, and it's perfect for a couple's retreat or a small family getaway.

What makes this property unique

The Diamond Beach amenities are unparalleled on Galveston Island. 5-star resort style features will have you not wanting to go home and then craving when you can come back.

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
